Your WOMM code. I recommend you figure out why the standard .NET classes fail (in your environment) using the Win32 API to identify any potential problems that BCL is hiding.
Fingers intersect if you try this lower level method, it gives errors to let you know what the problem is with BCL classes or use as a workaround.

Also, if you can, try the code and this code on a different network, because I think this is an environmental issue.
